training
The one that, on page one, says, "Do it."
and on page two:
"Good, again!"
seriously though, "best" is subjective. Some folks want a lot of pictures and big print with small words, others like to hear it from the horse's mouth and only buy books (ghost) written by big name athletes, others want the technical research laid out for them to decide for themselves. Then there're those who want inspiring stories, but who can't be told how to do anything because they know what works for them, or who want Chris Lieto to tell them exactly what he did to break the IMC bikesplit so they can do that too, as if what works for Chris will work for some girl, or a guy who weighs 50lbs more than he does.
What exactly are you looking for in a "training book?"

There are lots of great books out there, and I think it is best to read a bunch, and kind of pick the parts that suit you best from each. Most emphasize how everyone trains and reacts to training differently so there is no formula.
I personally really like "The Triathletes Training Bible". For me that had the most information in and was really well organized
Lots of good choices at http://www.velopress.com/triathlon.php

It takes a long time to get good. - Scott Molina

The last time I inquired, A lot responded about a book by Joe friel. I am sprint triathlete, hoping to go the olympic distance next year. I would like a book that talks about the basics, and can be used for all distances. Not a lot of stories or overly technical stuff, but information that a every day triathlete can use.
